Chapter 9 - first fight

standing infront of eachother was a kid with black hair and red eyes of course it was 01 and a man wearing a all white compat suit that looked tight but easy to move in, the man had short blond hair, a scar ran across one of his eyes, he was standing infront of 01 with a excited smile on his face, suddenly he took a stance and then spoke

"okay 01 lets see what you are made of, dont worry ill go easy on you,hehe"

as for 01 he had a frown on his face with some sweat drops running down his face, a thought was getting repeated in his head

'what should i do now?!'

before 15min....

/pov:01

"oh..is this the rumored perfect soldier we kept hearing about?"

i suddenly heard a sound next to me i turned to look at the source of the sound to see a tall man with big frame standing next to doctor kane, he had short blond hair in a military cut style and some handsome features but the most noticeable feature was a scar running across his face that seemed to take one of his eyes, a badge on his chest with 6 stars circled around eachother, indicating his captain rank,

'wait a scar acroos the face,short blond hair...is he..? no that guy was a in the commander rank at that time..at that time?does that mean that this is him but 3 years before the plot start'

i was staring to panic internally because i knew who this person is, but i didn't show, looking at the man infront of me i raised my hand and saluted him and said at the top of my voice with the most "soldier" like voice i know

"glory to the founder, glory to the white star!"

a heavy silence descended on the white space people stopped fighting the "audience" stopped shouting and turned, all eyes were now on me i felt a little embarrassed but i couldn't show that embarrassment turned to anxiousness the atmosphere started to gat more tense the more the silence continued

"pfft...hahahahaha...you know what doctor i already like him has some balls on him, dont worry about anything else leave him to me ill take good care of him"

suddenly the "captain" sounded out while laughing, evryone else started laughing exept..

"iam afraid that wont be possible captain van, 01 has other training to do also, i dont want him to turn intoa brainless barberian like you people,ill tell you what. you will train him 5 days a week from now on for duration of time that doesn't exceed 6 hours a day i will leave the details to you"

said the doctor in a neutral bored voice, the laughing stopped, the heavy tense atmosphere came back again, a maniac smile started forming on van's that sent chills down my spine even though it wasnt directed at me

"doctor dont you think you are overstepping your position a little, if i was you id be thanking generous captain van for giving about my shitty project"

"you know i was given the authority over this whole project, what would the higher ups think of you if i tell them you are slowing my progress with your stupidity"

after the doctor words, the captain's smile vanished like it wasnt there in the first place. huge pressure started radiating out of him, some agents in the room couldn't handle the pressure fainted and fell face first on the floor, as for me i fell on my knees and my breathing started getting shallow it was like the air in the room turned from oxygen to somthing else entirely, a low voice that sounded more like a growl of a beast came out

"tell me doctor are you fucking threatening me right now?"

"stand back captain"

said sam while standing infront of doctor kane as if to protect him from the pressure, but i could see signs of pain on his face, fortunately the doctor started talking again

"iam not threatening you, iam just telling you what are the orders given by the higher ups. so are you going to take this upsatirs or are you going to accept your orders and stop arguing"

the silence kept its reign on the white space until a sigh came out the captain's mouth and the heavy pressure that was around him stopped

"haaa..okay you win this time but next time you pull someshit like this on me again iam gonna make you regret being born, do you understand?"

the doctor turned around and started walking away he waved his hands while his back facing us and spoke

"yeah yeah whatever, have fun with 01 for now since this is your first time. ill be back to get him in 6 hours make sure to teach him well"

he walked out of the door with sam right behind him, i saw sam take one last look at me and then go with the doctor,

now i was left alone with the soldiers and captain van

"tsk...bastard"

said the captain while still looking at the now closed door, suddenly he turned his head and started looking at me

"oh..you are still here, well we have 6 hours, so how about we do a little match me and you just to see how good you are , first go choose a weapon from the wall right there, well it doesn't matter what you choose iam gonna make you know how to use them all anyway,hehehe"

said van with a creepy smile that made me shiver a little. walking to the wall i saw many weapons hanged there but what caught my eye was a black bokken hanged there, i took it and went back infront captain van

....

present...

"okay 01 lets what you are made of, dont worry ill go easy on you,hehe"

said the captain, 01 tried to take a stance he held the bokken with both hand infront of him, his left leg infront the right one. just when he was about to move he heard a voice behind him

"although you stance is a little awkward its good for a first timer,let me fix it for you"

it was van, he fixed 01 shoulders and made him straighten his back, his stance looked now much better, after van finished he went to the same place he was standing at and said

"thats better now try and attack me"

standing in his place 2 thoughts were circulating in 01's head, the first was

'how the fuck did he get behind me that fast, i couldn't even hear or see him move'

the second was

'i see its still there'

when van touched him to fix his stance he felt that same disgusting feeling he felt in his past life when someone touched him, pulling him out of his thoughts was the sound of the captain

"hey stop standing there and attack already we dont have all day!"

01 couldnt help but swallow hard,even though the captain was just standing there, even though he seemed full of opening, a feeling told him not to do it

'no...i have to get rid of my fear so what if he is scary?, so what if he might hurt me? this is a opportunity for me to get stronger and get the hell out of this place, i wanna this world i created, and if these fuckers gonna try to stop me then ill have to get stronger get them out of my way'

a determined look was on 01's face, he stopped thinking and started dashing towrard the weaponless captain. even though he wasn't as fast as the captain, his speed was comparble to a professional athlete at his prime on earth, getting closer to the captain he raised his bokken and did a vertical slice toward the former, the captain just sidestepped the slash, but 01 didnt stop he did a horizontal slash toward the captain again, but the captain dodged it as easy as the last one, this kept on going for about 15 minutes, until the captain opened his mouth

"okay stop, i gotta give it to you brat, you are fast, your slices are really powerfull too, good stamina too, what do we need to check now mmmm...oh right lets check your endurance and reflexes,hahaha okay. iam gonna attack you from the left side so better prepare yourself brat"

"wha.."

before 01 could continue speaking he found himself flying at super speed toward one of the walls, the last thing he heard was the sound of the wall behind his back breaking and then everything went black.
